a Roman poet, probably lived at the end of the first or the beginning of the second century under Nerva and Trajan, and is perhaps the same person as the Terentianus, the governor of Syene in Egypt, whose praises are celebrated by Martial (1.87; comp. Wernsdorf, Poetac Latini Minores, vol. ii. p. 259). Terentianus was a native of Africa, as we might have inferred from his surname Maurus.
